"As I tried to give my remarks at the public hearing this morning on HB 4268 in defense of our constitutional property rights, I got dragged out of House chambers," Lucas wrote on her blog.

"Why? Because I was listing out who has been donating to Delegates on the Judiciary Committee."

Lucas started off her speech by pointing out there is no evidence to suggest the bill will create more jobs.

"I'd also like to point out that the people who were going to be speaking in favor of this bill are all going to be paid by the industry and the people who are going to be voting on this bill are also often paid by the industry," she said.

"I have to keep it short simply because the public only gets a minute forty-five while lobbyists can throw a gala at the Marriott with whiskey and wine and talk for hours to the delegates," she added, referring to a recent Shale Energy Alliance reception that was held this month.

Then, without further ado, Lucas began to list every member on the committee who has received oil and gas donations.

"People deserve someone to fight for people and not corporations," Lucas can be hearding saying on her way out the door.

Apparently, freedom of speech applies to political donations but not those who wish to publicize them.

Ultimately, despite all of Lucas' hard work, the bill was passed by the committee. Now, it goes to the lower House and state Senate for a full vote. The Governor of West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has said he will sign the bill into law if it passes.
